As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.
I dunno the dev has made loads of posts in the past year saying they’ll quit lemmy and tesseract only to come back. Clearly they were struggling and finding threadiverse wasnt helping but couldn’t stop coming back…
Feels like crisis/cry for help behaviour to me. Especially since they spent their first couple years on fedi being opinionated but generally polite and contributing compared to… whatever the fuck happened past couple months…
